There are a handful of gnomish words that I had meant to post here but had neglected, but I was flabbergasted (!) to see that I'd omitted cockamamie! Which is, interestingly, an American word, which again points to gnomish incursions in the United States.
cock·a·ma·mie
adjective North American informal
ridiculous; implausible
"a cockamamie theory"
